I am always delighted by the treasures found within communities. Such bespoke homes in varied environments, not one the same and all their own private sanctuary. This property is just that. Situated within the beautiful rainforest valley of the Blackhorse (company titled) Community, this serene and beautiful approx.10 acres with a gorgeous 2 bedroom home that is designed to embrace the beauty that surrounds it, will bring you instant calm. Located midway along the valley on a North facing slope, the home rests on a clear knoll between 2 gullies and is is surrounded by lush forest, a mix of rainforest, gum and hardwoods. The headwaters of Blackhorse Creek babble past at the base of the valley below and the gullies either side will flow in the wet season.
As can be expected, this home is not your regular! It has the living quarters housed in one large and light-filled room to the West and the 2 bedrooms have their own quarters to the East. All seamlessly housed under an enormous, insulated roof and linked by an equally enormous deck. Please note that the colours of the home are not well represented in the photos and in reality are much less loud.
The DECK is a room in itself. It is where you will find yourself all year round. With Northerly views over thick forest to the opposite hillside, there is always something to watch or listen to. The insulated roof creates an oasis from the heat in the summer and a seductive place to curl up in the winter sun.
The MAIN HOUSE is square and has wall to wall windows on 3 sides (privacy is not an issue here). High ceilings with exposed trusses are an eye-catching feature and polished timber floors balance the aesthetic with their warmth. A large combustion heater with oven and stove top takes centre place with its chimney rising through the skylight at the point of the roof. The views through every window are leafy and green, seasonally dotted with splashes of colour, so you are never detached from nature.
The KITCHEN takes the eastern wall and has solid timber cupboard doors with natural timber benchtops and an island bench that serves as a breakfast bar and provides extra storage. A small dishwasher is a surprise bonus.
The BATHROOM is behind the kitchen and accessed from the rear of the living room as well as from outside. It is small but adequate, with a beautiful natural edge timber vanity, shower and compost toilet.
The LIVING ROOM is an open space that can be arranged to suit your unique needs and style. With nature as your backdrop decoration will be easy.
The SLEEPING QUARTERS are housed under the one roof and both open onto the deck through glass sliding doors. With windows on 3 sides they are light and beautifully connected to their surroundings.
The LAND, of which you have approx. 10 acres, has been lovingly tended by the owner. Over time she has opened walking tracks and regenerated rainforest species along them. They meander all over the land passing gullies and moss covered boulders. The land extends up the hill behind the home and is mostly forested. There is a track to the top from where the views expand beautifully. At the front of the house is a netted veggie garden with plenty of room to extend if required. A snake-proof chicken coop is in great order and an added bonus. Alternatively it could be used for wildlife care.
Blackhorse Community is on a 1,000 acre property and takes up the end of the valley and the headwaters of Black Horse Creek. There are stunning rainforest walks to waterfalls and the creek running through the centre of the land provides everyone with a cool oasis on a hot summer’s day. There are 25 shares, each are roughly 5-10 acres. The community has been established for 40 years and has rustic and charming central meeting hall with kitchen and bathrooms where many a Sunday brunch has been shared.
